Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students live in a low-income/high poverty, urban school district. They are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom, including emotional trauma, a high mobility rate, and many other special needs. Many of them are being raised in single-parent households and ninety-nine percent receive a free lunch and breakfast. My students are seventy percent Hispanic and thirty percent African-American. The majority of my students are far below the national and state standards in reading and math.

Our school is very limited when it comes to distributing resources.

We would like to do more to provide our children with the supplies they need, but our school budget crisis makes this difficult.

My Project

Our learners have so many academic tests to take. I want them to feel relaxed and ready for these assessments. I know I feel most relaxed when my belly is happy. We have a late lunch and we take our tests in the morning.

The students can enjoy a simple treat such as fruits snacks, or small cheese crackers to get their mind off of the stressful tests.

We have test day every Friday. The students are tested on the Reading and Math skills that have been taught during the week. No one looks forward to this day, but maybe with these tasty treats, they just might!
